The Impossible Daytrip

July 10, 2014

Mission Hill Grounds

Well, almost impossible. You can take the Saturday early morning direct ferry to Tsawwassen. Drive the Coquihalla race track to West Kelowna and arrive by noon. Visit a few wineries and get back to Salt Spring via the evening direct ferry.

Our getaway included an overnight in West Kelowna. And we did visit Quail’s Gate (best modern architecture), Little Straw Vineyards (more our speed with great lunch and wines), and Mission Hill (best views, grounds and artwork).

Both photos are from Mission Hill.

It’s possible to have a great day trip to the ‘real’ west coast by catching an early morning ferry from Vesuvius and returning to Salt Spring Island in time for dinner. It’s an interesting drive (paved all the way) and there are some great beaches to explore (at low tide).
